 “Yamazaki produced a black object no larger than a business card, slightly thicker, and flexed it sharply between his thumbs. A black umbrella flowered” William Gibson, Idoru. "My intention is to create curious miniature objects that convey a fictional narrative, each a whimsical character in an imaginary tale. The pieces are constructed with humour and absurdity to allow ambiguity in interpretation. Often the collected materials are chosen for their zoomorphic or anthropomorphic characteristics, and then used in the construction of Frankenstein style creatures. The precious materials and jewellery techniques used to build the pieces also create a mechanised aesthetic, resulting in a menagerie of absurd robotic creatures. Through mechanistic function and aesthetic I can indicate artificial life in an inanimate object." Exhibitions at Pieces of Eight My Pet Rock June 24 - July 19, 2008  |
